Effects of antiarrhythmic drugs on canine ventricular arrhythmia models: which electrophysiological characteristics of drugs are related to their effectiveness?

abstract：:Early reperfusion after an organ ischemia is essential to salvage tissue from eventual death. However, abundant evidence suggests that reperfusion also elicits pathophysiological changes responsible for additional tissue injury after restoration of blood flow. Postconditioning (Postcon) defined as rapid sequential int...
